Expecting Zibulon to cross over and set a genuine tempo. SACRED INGOT (4) went close at Cranbourne but was plainer at Pakenham following and will be better for it. Maps for the run of the race and John Allen's booking is a decent push. Rates the one to beat. CASCADE MOUNTAIN (13) is some threat. He was also well beaten at Pakenham but impressed at Ballarat prior on debut. Fitter again and respect with the first-time blinkers applied. SHE SAID (12) finally draws a handy barrier and can sit closer. No surprise to see a much-improved effort. LEMBEH (8) kicked off her career with a moderate eighth over 1600m at Werribee two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will take a lot from that run and is open to improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sacred Ingot.
